There is no way that the INS, or whatver it's calling itself these days, can effectively handle the processing of 10 million-odd people in a timely manner.
The agency is hard-pressed to even cope with what it has to do right now, today. Injecting so many more people into the system overnight is not going to help.
Actually, this is a positive step, you can't crush the beast unless it sticks it's ugly head out of the hole.
I think it's already too late for these guys to slip their legislative amnesty crap through, I think this really is throwing gas on the fire. I am fine with the legal Hispanic community, even helped start a Spanish language TV station, but the illegals are a BIG problem (you just have to watch the nightly news here in Vegas to see the crimes being committed).
Illegality begats illegality, and once you start debating the amnesty stuff this becomes pretty clear, it's the same as throwing most of our workplace and identification laws out the window.
Good point. I don't think this invalidates the arguments in favor of the legislation, but it's something that has to be considered. The INS gets backed up enough as it is.
